TREATMENT:  The National Capital Region of the Park Service asked that the statue re-patinized, using a walnut blasting process to remove corrosion and uneven patina finish.  We research and discovered a newer more gentle process using the Armex System utilizing bicarbonate of soda, water at a low 70 PSI and water.  After the repatination process the bas relief is ~36"x72" was sprayed (according to the published specifications) with several coasts of lacquer.
